Although I gladly picked up Ben at 5pm from the sitter’s, he has been the model of poor behavior since the moment we connected, but at 10:45 I am thinking, “it’s just 6 hours of pushing my buttons.” Unfortunately for Ben, that is about 6 hours too much.
The sad part is that this is not his normal for Ben. He is generally a good kid, but apparently tonight he did not read the memo. I have placed him in MY BED tonight too, not because I want him there, but because after the day we have had I need to keep an eye on him. At this point I not sure he would try to take one of our cars and perhaps rob a bank. His DNA, at least on my side, leans that way, and yes, probably is to blame for the day….and although I cannot shake that DNA, it doesn’t mean I cannot complain about it……after all, it is really all my dad’s fault.
So clearly I am getting it from both sides….my dad passed on this rebellion, and now I am living with it…at least for today. Of course they would both laugh about it when together I am sure. They are in cahoots together, but I will have the last laugh. For I will live through this day…..and God willing live to see Ben’s kids give him a day like today. It’s my right for passing on this crooked DNA.
Goodnight my friends and God Bless.
